About This Product
A Document Signer Certificate is a Digital Signature Certificate designed for organizations that need to sign large volumes of electronic documents automatically, instead of a person manually inserting a USB token and clicking "sign" on each file. It's issued to the organization's legal name rather than to an individual, and integrates with ERP, DMS, billing, and accounting systems to apply PAdES-embedded signatures with an RFC 3161 trusted timestamp — giving every signed document the same legal standing under the IT Act, 2000 as a manually signed one, at a fraction of the effort.
Who Needs a Document Signer Certificate?
- Businesses generating hundreds or thousands of invoices, contracts, or reports daily
- ERP, accounting, and billing platforms needing API-based signing
- Banks, NBFCs, and financial institutions issuing signed statements at scale
- Government bodies and enterprises automating certificate or letter issuance
- Any organization wanting to eliminate manual per-document signing entirely
